"Nisa was an important center of the Parthian
state, which existed since the III c. BC up to the
III c. AD and rivaled with Rome for supremacy in
the Near East In particular."

Once
when Abu Said Makneyi was at the mosque in Nishapur, the
famous erudite Abu AliIbn Sina entered the hall and joined
people. They met each other and had conversation that
lasted for three days. When Abu Said was about to leave
one person at the mosque approached him and asked "How
did you like Ibn Sina"? He answered " Ibn Sina knows everything
that I see". When the same question was given to Ibn Sina
he answered "Abu Said sees everything that I know". Click
